Layout

In design and layout, the level is based on World 1-Castle, however, Mario has only 30 seconds on his clock to beat the level. To compensate this, the level is riddled with + Clocks to raise Mario's timer. After passing through the first half of the level, Mario is confronted by Dry Bowser, and a battle similar to those against Bowser throughout the game ensues.

Enemies

Boss Battle

Dry Bowser's attack patterns are virtually the same of the Fake Bowser fights from the game. Cosmetically, Dry Bowser's breath attacks are a blue flame whereas the original Bowser attacks are a fiery orange. Dry Bowser is defeated in the same way Fake Bowser is – by using the switch at the end of the bridge to his castle. By the switch, Mario can also obtain a 100-second + Clock.

Star Medals

Star Medal 1: The first Star Medal can be obtained by jumping on top of the long Question Block past the large gears early in the level.

Star Medal 2: The second Star Medal is found above a + Clock after a confrontation with two Hammer Bros.

Star Medal 3: The final Star Medal is above the second Thwomp of the level.
